As promised, here are several photos of the eco-friendly Christmas Tree using LED lights, wind power, solar power, and bicycles in Lima, Peru.
Tonight the Lima district of San Borja plans to light an emissions-free Christmas tree in a popular park as part of event called “Magic, Light, and Color: the Energy You Generate.” The 11 meter high tree will display LED Christmas lights powered by a combination of 10 bicycles, a wind turbine, and two small solar panels [...]
What’s the carbon diet of your laptop? How does 1000 pounds of CO2 sound? Buying a renewable energy offset credit might be just the ticket to green your web-surfing and support wind energy, and buying one from PoweredGreen won’t break the bank.
In the market for a new ride, but looking for a company that uses environmentally friendly manufacturing? Venture Snowboards might be the one you’re searching for. They make buying your new board a “green-guilt”-free experience. Venture is located in Silverton Colorado, one of the coolest high-country towns that hasn’t become completely gentrified yet, and they’re [...]
I first saw this technology at an MIT conference for emerging technologies a few years ago. Today Humdinger LLC. is ready to make some noise! This relatively simple design can make productive use of non-linear, or turbulent, wind flow. Using a vibrating belt that can me set in to motion in very light winds oscillating [...]
Check out the Danish island of Samso, an island known for its strawberry picking, potatoes, and the tiny little fact that they are completely Carbon Neutral. This island of roughly 4,000 residents has completely wiped away its carbon footprint by using a combination of wind & solar power and biofuel.
The Energy Ball is a slick, silent, and efficient wind turbine that can create usable energy from even light winds. The main factor contributing to the success of the Energy Ball design is the use of the Venturi effect. The Venturi effect occurs when an “incompressible fluid flows through a constricted section,” this results in [...]
